Andorra, a small country in the Pyrenees, on the French-Spanish border, has long been an exception. Despite its Romanesque, Andorra, a haven of liberalism derives its wealth from trade.
Crystallization of many desire this wealth stirs many jealousies. But Andorra is also the thrill of heights. A change of scenery that deserves that one spends a few days before or after a stay in Catalonia.
Andorra, everything starts with the nature that every winter, patiently carpet removal of "white gold". How not to be seized by the virgin expanse windswept?
Then the "green gold" comes to the rescue. At snowmelt, the small streams music engages and announces the time of the first flowers piercing the froth of altitude plains. For the mountains rend the clouds, a crowd of marchers arrived on hiking trails still quite sore from the long winter.
An exception, even for his identity. Facing proud Catalonia, backed Ariege generous and inseparable eye Toulouse, Andorra is marked with a little inferiority complex. Both hinge, latch and buffer, it suffers from its Lilliputian size. Taxed for its ancient archaic institutions and questioned for its tax system, it occupies a special place in Europe: surely the first European nation on the continent, its binational co-chair.
